This is a Great topic / thread. Thanks Claude ! I would never have known about “TriCycle”, and I am enjoying it so much. Along with a variety of other songs offered up by members.

Thank You Mike Again great information. The Cary KR 300B XLS pair for sale are used. I have found a couple pair of NOS $900-$1,100. Do you have any particular site for locating tubes for sale ? Thanks again for you help. Jim

Hello Dave hope you and family are doing well. I don’t have room for S-MWM’s but I would really really enjoy cranking up some tunes with them. I will be listening the KP-301ii up for sale in the near future. I love them but haven’t hooked them up in over 1 1/2 years.

Mike there are a pair of Cary tubes listed on USAudio for sale : “Cary Audio designs KR Enterprises KR300B XLS Pair“ Are these the tubes that require the 450v to sing ?

Thank You Mike I could not have hoped ask for a better written assessment to my question. Bravo my friend ! Cheers, Listen to the Music and Stay well Jim

I have recently purchased a Cary 805C Monoblock amplifiers with current upgrades. I have a bi-amp system using the 805 for HF. System is 402 with Radian 760 pb br 8 ohm drivers. 904 LF cabinets. l was looking for recommendations for tube selection based on experience. 6SL7 input tube 300b driver tube 845 output tube

Great news Rudy Wishing you a complete recovery and back to your normal routine. 👍

I’m with you Joe, I have a Marchand x/o and could not be happier. I know a guy that felt like you did that everything was starting to sound somewhat the same and started attributing it to hearing loss. He had some “busy life time” come up and had not listened to his system for a few months. When he did finally sit down for a listen he marveled at how beautiful the music was. He said he didn’t plan the break but felt like it was just what he needed. Not saying you need a break, just sharing a fellow audiophiles life experience. I have enjoyed reading many of your post and wish only the best for you in your musical enjoyment.

A skeleton walks into the bar and orders 2 beers and a mop.

Thanks for the recommendations and advice. Looks like I will be staying with the single SIT3 for the HF. It really does a great job by itself, just enjoy contemplating different ideas. I would love to try a pair of SIT1 but they don’t come up for sell very often.

The bass bins are klipsch 904. I use a pair of Pass Lab Aleph 2 as amplifiers.

I run First Watt SIT3 on HF (Klipsch 402) and Pass Mono blocks Aleph 2 on LF (Klipsch 904). Pass X2.5 preamplifier and Pass Aleph P preamplifier (to gain match the SIT3 and Aleph 2). Sounds really good to me.
